Alexander Zverev caused a lot of damage to his image on Wednesday.
After the defeat at the ATP-500 in Acapulco, when he angrily hit the referee’s chair with his racket after double defeats against Lloyd Glasspool and Harry Heliovara, the German Olympic champion not only lost a fan, but also became disqualified. from the tournament.
Quite right – world number one Novak Djokovic believes. “I think the decision to disqualify wasn’t too harsh. I think it was right under the circumstances,” says the 34-year-old Serbian, who hopes Zverev will consider it. .
“Sometimes you feel different emotions on the pitch in the heat of the moment,” says Djokovic. “But of course I don’t justify his behavior.”
The 20-time Grand Slam winner was himself disqualified at the 2020 US Open because he inadvertently shot an umpire with a tennis ball in frustration.
